Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assembly of welded aluminium based elements, particularly a process for making a package for a microwave amplifier.
- This low thermal conductivity causes a deterioration in the performance of IC's mounted in the package because of its low heat dissipation property, particularly in a package for high output amplifiers.
- aluminium or an aluminium alloy is lighter and exhibits a desirable malleability and excellent thermal conductivity, and therefore, aluminium or an aluminium alloy is more suitable for producing a package for IC's. Nevertheless, where the aluminium or aluminium alloy elements must be bonded together to produce such a package, this cannot be achieved by brazing, because this method makes it necessary to subject the whole package including the IC's to a high temperature.
- Steve Bolin et al disclose, on page 26 of an article Laser Welding, Cutting and Drilling, Part 2, Assembly Engineering, July 1980, that one successful solution to this problem was to alter the composition of the weld joint by adding a filler metal - specifically type 4047 aluminium alloy (same as 718 braze alloy).
- a filler metal - specifically type 4047 aluminium alloy (same as 718 braze alloy).
- the 12% silicon content of this material prevented the occurrence of cracks in a welded zone by increasing the high temperature strength of the metal.
- a process for laser welding a cover and a casing, each made of aluminium or an aluminium based alloy, with a nickel intermediate layer to form a package of electronic devices comprises the steps of: boring holes in sides of the casing, thereby providing holes through which input/output and source terminals can be inserted and be soldered hermetically to the casing; plating a nickel layer on the surface of the casing; mounting electronic devices in the casing and forming connections between the devices and the terminals; and welding the cover and the casing together to seal the cover and the casing hermetically using a pulsed YAG laser beam, thereby forming a weld zone containing 1.5 to 10.0% of nickel by weight.
- the cover and casing may be formed by casting or by cutting of essentially pure aluminium or a cast aluminium based alloy, or a corrosion resistant aluminium based alloy or other aluminium based alloy.
- a pure aluminium may be, e.g. A 1100 as defined in Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) H 4000.
- a cast aluminium based alloy may be, e.g. AC4A alloy, which contains, in percentage by weight ⁇ 0.2 Cu, 8.0 to 10.0 Si, 0.2 to 0.8 Mg, ⁇ 0.2 Zn, ⁇ 0.7 Fe, 0.3 to 0.8 Mn, ⁇ 0.2 Ti.
- a corrosion resistant aluminium based alloy may be, e.g., A 5052 alloy which contains, in percentage by weight, ⁇ 0.45 (Si + Fe), ⁇ 0.10 Cu, ⁇ 0.10 Mn, 2.2 to 2.8 Mg, 0.15 to 0.35 Cr, ⁇ 0.10 Zn. Both of these alloys are defined also in JIS H 4000.
- a cover 1 and a casing 2 having a side thickness of 2.5 mm were produced of A 1100 pure aluminium.
- Two holes for inserting input/output terminals 3 were bored in the end side surfaces of the casing, and twenty four holes for inserting source terminals 4 were bored in the longitudinal side surface of the casing, as shown in Figure 4.
- the casing 2 was chemically plated by means of a plating solution which comprised nickel sulfate 350 g/l, nickel chloride 50 g/l, and boron sulfate 10 g/l, as shown in Figure 5.
- Gallium arsenic FET devices were mounted in the recess of the casing, and the input/output terminals 3 and source terminals 4 were inserted in the side wall of the casing and were soldered to the casing hermetically.
- the nickel layer 5 exhibited a good underplating for soldering. The necessary connections were accomplished between the electronic devices and the terminals.
- the cover 1 and casing 2 were butted together via plated nickel layer 5.
- the laser welding was carried out in nitrogen with a welding speed of 4 mm/s by a 0.3 mm laser beam with an average output of 200 W, a pulse width of 4 ms, and a pulse rate of 15 p/s.
